A few pics taken in Quebec, Otto Von Heller aka Mike Hall above 1978, Del Skinner below 1978 (id on who is in the ring?), and Tokyo Joe 1983 (different than the 70's wrestler with the same name). If you have any info on these wrestlers please leave a comment. Heller aka Hall is familiar to fans in Canada but the other two I have very little info on.

Thanks to regular MLWP contributor Jerome MacDonald for these ads from Halifax from 1968. Above is June 6 , below is July 12. If we were to replace Halifax with Toronto these could well be ads for MLG for the same time period as it's Tunney's crew.

No 'Rick' Flair did not work on McKigney shows. Either did Mosca, not at this time anyways. McKigney was very creative in his posters and media as you can see by the cover above with at least Terry Funk and Mil Mascaras who never - as far as I know - worked on the Wildman's shows.

Both Candi Divine and Debbie Combs, two of the most attractive ladies of the time were both quality wrestlers and a good addition to the cards 82-83. Other ladies on this tour included Dianne/Brenda Hoffman and Donna Day and they would have frequent mixed bouts with both the regulars and the midget wrestler.
